With the foregoing and other ob ects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Referring to the drawings:

Figure 1 is a front elevational view of a window casing constructed in accordance with the invention. 3

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is an elevational view of a door casing constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional view through one of the side members of the cas- %igure 5 is a sectional view through a window casing.

Figure 6 is a perspective view illustrating disconnected sections of the casing.

Referring to the drawingsin detail, the

window casing which is shown more particularly by Figure 1 of the drawings includes side casing members 5, a head casing member 6, a sill 7 and an apron 8, the

upper and lower ends of the side casing members being rabbeted asat 9 to fit within the correspondingly-shaped rabbet 10 formed in the head section 6 and the apron 8 of the sill so that close fits will be provided between the various sections of the casing.

Secured along the side edges of the easing are sections known as back band sections 12, the upper backhand section 13 extending along the upper edge of the head casing section 6, where it has its ends beveled to meet the beveled ends of the back bands 12.

A lower back band section 14 is provided at the base of the Window and also has beveled extremities engaging the beveled extremities of the back bands 12.

The sill which is indicated at 7 is cut away adjacent to its ends as shown at 15 allowing the sill to fit closely within the side casing section 5. It might be further stated that the back bands 12 and 13 are formed with longitudinal flanges 16 overlying portions of the side casing sections, head casing sections and apron of the sill to provide a finishing strip between the back band sections and adjacent sections of the casing.

In the application of the invention, in the construction of a door, it will be seen thatthe side casing sections 17 have their upper and lower ends rabbeted as at 18V which'rabbets provide enlargements'to fit within the rabbeted section, 19 or head section of the casing. r a

In this form of the invention the back bands which are indicated at 20 are also formed with flanges 21 to finish off the connection between the casing and back bands.

From the foregoing it will be obvious that 8 due. to this construction, a complete window or door casing will be assembled in the shops, and carried to the job to be positioned, eliminating the necessity of setting shoulder section, the vertical section having a rabbet formedacross one endthereof defining a rib to be fitted in the rabbet of the shoulder section, the ribs adapted to interlock to secure the vertical and horizontal sections together.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own, we have hereto affixed our sigs natures.
